Its the fricken' ocean, it can do what ever it wants! Including having 0 nitrates. But really consider the amount of gas exchange and total volume of water, comparitivly I bet the bio-load is fairly low.

i think the oceans nitrates stay low, because waves are always moving and crashing, which is sorta like a water change. Tho thats just me.

waves moving is not a water change... waves moving are powerheads and it's skimmer is when the waves crash to the shore.. dont u notice the scum foam on the beach??

how do they stayat 0 with all those bioloads?

they have a crazy bio-load.. but!!!!
Relative to what we do with or tanks "stocking wise"...there is relatively Very Little bioload in MOST of the ocean...
If we didn't stock a much as we do, we wouldn't have Nitrate problems either..
